Make it Pretty Monday - Week 84

Hello World!  Thank you for popping in today to play.  I'm working on finalizing a new start time for the Make it Pretty party.  The 8am start had been working fine with our schedule, but lately not so.  I'm getting Little Dedicated up a little earlier so that we can spend a little more time together in the morning and maybe throw in a piano practice session for her before school.  I'm thinking it might end up being an afternoon start, but I'll keep you posted.  Thank you for being so flexible. 

Also, don't forget this Wednesday is the first Before and After Wednesday link party.  Feel free to link up posts that are Before and After in nature that you have linked up at Make it Pretty or Anything Blue.  I'm finding that my strength lies in spotting talent and giving it more exposure.  I love digging through your projects and coming up with the features.  Plus, I like parties. 

Welcome to Week 84 of:
